Our state-of-the-art radiation meter is specifically designed for testing drums of radioactive waste and provides an all-round check to accurately determine the dose radiation of each drum. The radiation meter includes a measuring slide and a PC, making it a comprehensive radiation measurement system.
Task:
The radiation measuring device has the task of examining 200-liter drums filled with contaminated material, which can weigh up to 1000 kg, for radiation. For a thorough measurement, each drum must complete a full rotation. The radiation measuring device is designed to accommodate two different drum diameters and its compact dimensions allow it to be transported through a 900 mm wide door.
Solution:
The radiation meter is mounted on a robust 42 mm thick steel plate and measures 850 mm x 1300 mm x 1600 mm in its transport state. The rotating device of the radiation meter has a mounting ring with a 5-fold bearing and is driven by a toothed belt wrap. The rotation time can be infinitely adjusted between 200 and 2000 seconds.
The radiation meter can be easily loaded using a crane or forklift truck. For precise dose measurement, 12 gamma sensors are attached to the radiation meter in various arrangements, which measure and record the dose rate every 5° during rotation.
